I need help finding records for the mother of William Hall Hall-42532, wife of John Hall Hall-54688.

Williams records confirm her given name as Phyllis, Ancestry gives the LNAB Pratt and the Dob/DoD, but none of the usual sources give me any more info.

All help gratefully recieved.

John Hall's Wiki ID is incorrect in your question.  It should be https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hall-54688

I think her dates may have come from this burial record in Deptford St Nicholas in 1820: 

Kent : Deptford : St Nicholas : Parish Register : "Parish Register" database, FreeREG (https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/58180c32e93790ec75b44bbd : viewed 12 Apr 2024) burial Phillis Hall 27 Nov 1820 

And the maiden name of Pratt is probably a guess based on this baptism: 

Kent : Deptford : St Paul : Parish Register : "Parish Register" database, FreeREG (https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/58185091e93790ec8b28175a : viewed 12 Apr 2024) baptism John Pratt Hall 13 Dec 1801

This could be John and Phillis's marriage, but with a last name of James not Pratt: 

Kent : Woolwich : St Mary Magdalene : Parish Register : "Parish Register" database, FreeREG (https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/5f36aad4f493fdc5db21a028 : viewed 12 Apr 2024) marriage John Hall to Phillis James 10 Oct 1791

Thanks, that is quite feasible.
i have learned not to rely on Ancestry famly trees, they often have lazy, dumb errors 

I have found a birth record for Phyllis, at Woolwich Gro Regimental Birth Indices Supplement (1761 To 1924) niether parents nor actual year of birth on record.  So one step forward into a second brick wall.
